KS3 - Specialised Cells

KS3 Biology - Cells Topic

This bundle is a complete topic pack containing all powerpoints, student worksheets, risk assessments, stretch and challenge tasks, and answer sheets for the Biology topic "Cells". It also contains many student-led activities on the powerpoints (particularly designed to make the learning of parts and functions of cells easier, more fun and student-led), plenary activities, and reading and literacy tasks (for specialised cells and unicellular organisms) **Bundle includes:** * Lesson 1: Observing cells with a microscope * Lesson 2: Animal Cells * Lesson 3: Plant Cells * Lesson 4: Specialised Cells * Lesson 5: Movement of Substances (diffusion) in and out of cells * Lesson 6: Unicellular Organisms (focusing on euglena and amoeba) **Lesson Objectives:** * **Lesson 1: Observing Cells** * Name the parts of a microscope * Describe how to use a microscope to observe very small objects * Calculate the total magnification used to observe an object * View and focus objects under a microscope * **Lesson 2: Animal Cells** * State what a cell is * Name the different parts of an animal cell * Describe the function of each part of an animal cell * Use a Microscope to view animal cells (cheek cells) * **Lesson 3: Plant Cells** * Identify parts of a plant cell from a diagram * Describe the function of each part of a plant cell * Compare the similarities and difference between an animal and plant cell * Use a microscope to view plant cells (pond weed) * **Lesson 4: Specialised Cells** * Know what a specialised cell and an adaptation is * Give some examples of specialised cells * Identify and describe the adaptations of some specialised cells * Explain how an adaptation makes a specialised cell good at its function * **Lesson 5: Movement of Substances in and out of cells** * Name some substances that move into and out of cells * Describe the process of diffusion * Describe examples of diffusion in cells * **Lesson 6: Unicellular Organisms ** * Know what a unicellular organism is * Name 2 examples of unicellular organisms * Describe the features of an amoeba * Describe the features of an euglena
